A Munich court will allow a London publisher to reprint Nazi newspapers in a weekly publication sold in Germany for educational purposes.

Against the objections of the Bavarian state government, a weekly publication has been granted permission to reprint Nazi newspapers. The Bavarian government acquired the rights to Nazi newspapers from the publisher not long after World War II. On Wednesday, a Munich court ruled that the 70-year copyright period has expired for all publications printed before 1939, clearing the way for the reprinting of Nazi newspapers published through 1938.
